"We're not far from that," Moore said on Monday. "Before we had our Hafnium breakthrough, we were down to the point where we were at five molecular layers in the gate structure of the transistors. When you clearly can't go below one...you get into other types of problems," Moore said.

The law will continue, they just need breakthroughs with Quarternium, Eigthnium, etc..

I was thinking the same thing, or if quantum hasn't been quite refined as a useful science yet, at the very least, nanocomputing should be advanced enough to the point that it can take the reigns from microcomputing... That's what we like to do in this industry anyway, just change out prefixes when the technology hits a certain milestone... If you think the nano-itx motherboards are small, wait until you see the super-mega-ultra-nano-itx in 10 years, all components will be on separate cards, not quite risers, because they'll be connected via fiberoptic links directly into the bus a few microns away from the tri-tri-core CPU, the AMD Zelda-core 64000+ processor... And thanks to the miracle of nanocomputing's molecular level manipulation, food replicators will be a USB device available from Newegg... However, thanks to the miracles of the evolving software industry to meet the ever-increasing needs of users, there won't be drivers available for the new food replicators on Linux, it takes Windows 2020 over an hour to produce 1 hardboiled egg that you could have made yourself in 5-10 minutes, because it's thrashing your solid state drive (because really people, 2 terabytes of RAM is OS's recommended *minimum*), and it tastes more like a peanut butter sandwich because you don't have the latest Microsoft version of the driver for Windows 2020, because of course it makes the hardware incompatible with Windows 2020... Mac users will complain that they've had their iReplicator for 6 months already and stood in line for 12 hours to get one, and Jobs is slashing the price in half in anticipation of the release of the 2nd generation iReplicator...

Normally that holds true, but this is the internet we're talking about...the average IQ can decrease relative to itself because people can be just that stupid. Not even mathematics can keep up with the drop in the internet's IQ.
